| Last week was considered here
the hottest week ever seen in June.
Gardens and pastures were literally
burned up and it looked as if all
vegetation and humanity itself must
speedily perish. But Sunday even
ing the floods came, the winds blew
and the hail beat the crops and they
fell. Corn was badly blown down
with many fruit trees, etc. The
land was again badly washed. The
hail tore crops all to pieces around
Lynnville. The present outlook is
indeed deplorabie. Each individ
lal stalk of corn and cotton looks
as if it had been beaten all to pieces
With switches while the land is
washed full of big gullles. j. r.
Briggs says he is damaged IN crops
$1,000. Of 70 acres he does not ex
pect five bales. Monday morning
after the hail Sunday evening it was
a foot and a half deep. N. A.
smith reports twenty acre field in
fine fix washed in gullies every 20
teet-literally ruined. j. B. BOYD

and thousands of fish scattered over
the bottoms to die; fences were
swept out where run was never
seen before. This district lies Just
north of the one so sadly devastat
ed by hail three weeks ago and is
about two miles wide going from
southeast TO northwest. There was
scarcely a shock of grain left stand
ing IN all this district. The dam
age cannot be estimated for in some
cases it involves apparently the en-
tire value of the land.
